The Turned Tables

[Dookie]

>does it look like Nikei was killed in the study? or was he attacked somewhere else and somehow got to the study? (Knife)

Despite the fact that it seemed like he was bleeding, there is no blood bleeding out of his neck. It looks like he was dragged.

> pull the cue stick out of Hercules very carefully and inspect it closer (Goose)

The stick seemed to have been put in very hastily, as the stick isn't too far down his throat.

>sniff Mr. Zecro, then go back to the corpses, sniff them, and compare (Libre)

They're…not similar.

[Cassie]

"Nyalright, so Late-Myan isn't likely behind this..."


Glasya looks at Nikei's neck.

>inspect wounds caused by dragging

[Dookie]

>inspect wounds caused by dragging (Libre)

There are drag marks on his legs.

[Cassie]

>check the floor for drag marks, and follow it from Nikei to where it starts

[PointMaid]

Frankie is still scratching her head. Ugh... just getting a billiard cue right down your throat.

She > examines the Hercules murder scene again. Anything they missed?

[Kennifer]

So he was dragged from somewhere else?

>Look for Nikei blood in the other rooms, where was he actually killed?

[Dookie]

>check the floor for drag marks, and follow it from Nikei to where it starts (Libre)

They aren't very common, but there are some in the hall.

> examines the Hercules murder scene again. Anything they missed? (Point)

...No.

>Look for Nikei blood in the other rooms, where was he actually killed? (Kennifer)

His bed is full of blood.

"Why not try to interview some people? Ask what they were doing last night?"

[Cassie]

"Nyalright, who's the fyucker that went overboard and dragged a dead man over to another place?"

[Kennifer]

>Check around Nikei's room for possible evidence

[Dookie]

>Check around Nikei's room for possible evidence (Kennifer)

There are drag marks near his bed.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

>Follow the drag marks

[PointMaid]

Frankie is a bit frustrated at not finding more evidence at Hercules' murder scene... she'll > Check Hercule's body again.

...I hope something concrete turns up to at least give a clue here. I'm not sure my idea about heights earlier is much help. If it's even a clue at all.

[Dookie]

>Follow the drag marks (MP)

They lead to the study.

> Check Hercules' body again (Point)

The water...was from him. He was crying while he died.

[Kennifer]

So he was killed in bed, then dragged to the study... so it'd have to be somebody strong enough to do that, right?

Helena sips her drink and contemplates this. There's no way she's going to let her sober self come out during the investigation...

[PointMaid]

Somebody was nasty enough to make this... insufferably confident know-it-all with powers of resurrection... CRY before killing him. WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON HERE. Somebody with deets on his evil deeds, maybe, and... somebody who likes to torture people as much as possible.

[Cassie]

"Nyalright, who're the big guys in this house agyain!?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Awww, see!! He's really just sad inside andaversionofhimistotallynotfusedwithsomeoneinmybasement. Anyways!! Don't some of you have insane powers?! Maybe someone used magic or something!!

>see if there was any physical, as in meatspace, force used

[Dookie]

>see if there was any physical, as in meatspace, force used (Knife)

It doesn't seem like there was magic involved for either of the bodies. Just brute force.

[Kennifer]

Well, it couldn't have been the cat, or that Tory kid, unless they're a LOT stronger than they look...

[PointMaid]

Hmm... I know I was saying made him cry... but I know that's just speculation. Could've just been down in the dumps and ambushed. Or ran into the bathroom crying in pain after getting stabbed in the billiard room, since that's presumably where the weapon would have been found. As well as drinks that could have made him more sensitive. Damn, I'm doing a lot of speculating, aren't I? Could have been elsewhere, but...

> Check the billiard room for anything unusual or signs of a scuffle

[Dookie]

> Check the billiard room for anything unusual or signs of a scuffle (Point)

There are no signs at all of a fight. If anything, it seems all that happened was a billiard cue being stolen.

[Cassie]

"Byeh, I've seen people get voted off for pyettier reasons."

[PointMaid]

I bet. But unless I'm missing something, it seems Hercules wasn't confronted in the Billiard Room.

Hmmm. With the possible need for height and... emotional torture and interest in killing people with power, which he was rather powerful wasn't he, I'm starting to lean towards V or Host 2.

[Caret]

The billiards room seemed to be untouched when I got my midnight drink, so the theft of the cue stick must have happened after I left the room for the ballroom. Unless that person was also there while I was getting my drink. [host2 then decides to...]

> take a trip down memory lane and try to remember if anyone else was at the billiards room while you where getting your midnight drink

[wingedcatgirl]

V frowns. We were planning to team up with him, remember? We wouldn't kill a potential ally like that.
